Electronic Payment via E-Bill

E-Bill allows entitled users to view and add funds to their firm’s FINRA Flex-Funding Account through the FINRA Gateway. This provides a central place for users to view and pay FINRA invoices as well as fund the FINRA Flex-Funding Account. E-Bill is an online application that enables a firm to authorize electronic payment directly from its designated bank account to the firm's FINRA Flex-Funding Account. FINRA does not charge firms any fees for utilizing E-Bill; however, firms should verify with their bank whether that bank will assess fees for utilizing E-Bill. Entitlement is required to use E-Bill.

For detailed information about how to request access to E-Bill, the enrollment process or how to use this application, please review FINRA's E-Bill Web page.

Features of E-Bill include:

  • Entitlement – an E-Bill entitlement to grant access to Super Account Administrators, Account Administrators and Firm Users is available. Entitled users login using existing FINRA Gateway user name and password. No additional login is required.
  • Timely Payment to the FINRA Flex-Funding Account –Firms can use funds from successful transactions the next business day or as soon as the funds post to the firm’s Flex-Funding Account.
  • Transfers - Users may transfer funds between affiliated firms or to satisfy outstanding FINRA invoices and renewal assessments.
  • Alerts – E-Bill provides user alerts by subscription for events that occur in E-Bill (i.e. balance, invoice, renewal alerts, etc.)
